I turned on my heel and walked to the door before I popped a blood vessel Like I didn’t have enough onup debt onall et more cheese doodles!"

Freakin’ demons

Sepulcher didn’t open until nine, so when I pulled up in front of the building, the lights were out I kneould be back in his office, doing whatever it was he did to get ready for opening I looked in theand didn’t see anyfor a couple of minutes, I decided to try around back

The e and opened it, pulling out un just in case there was trouble I crept down the hallway,to the floor Ewan’s office door was closed, but a light spilled fro followed by a grunt I grabbed the doorknob and threw the door open

I’reeted theht He had one hand on his hip and the other on top of someone’s head His own head was thrown back The person kneeling before hi what I’d walked in on, I gasped Ewan turned, his facefrom ecstasy to shock

"Get the fuck out of here!"

I backed up quickly and shut the door My ainst the wall I wasn’t shocked to find out Eas gay Instead, I was surprised he had a sex life at all Ewan see inforossips have needs

Hushed voices ca, but, despite my embarrassment, I needed Ewan’s help Since I needed everyone to think I was breaking froo to All I had to do was convince him I was sick of the Do everyone he knew Hopefully, once word got out, it would reach Clovis and he’d come find me

A few moments later, the door opened I’m not sure who I expected Ewan’s blower to be, but it sure as hell wasn’t alked out that door

"Councilman Vera" I tried to keep the shock out of my voice, but it wasn’t easy With his perfectly combed executive haircut--a bit disheveled at present--and his strict adherence to the letter of the Dominae’s laws, he’d always seeuess I wasn’t too far off on that assessment, after all I al the man more embarrassed--his cheeks already burned

"Sabina," he said with an aard nod "I don’t think I have to tell you how da it would be if word of this--indiscretion--beca a key at my lips "They’re sealed"

The tension in his shoulders relaxed a bit "Thanks"

I nodded, not sure what else to say The situation definitely called for some off-color jokes, but I restrained o, wondering how in the world Ewan had ed to seduce the , I decided it wasn’t ainst Ewan

I took a deep breath and headed into Ewan’s office His pants no longer sagged around his ankles Instead, he leaned fully dressed against his desk, sarette like some bad cliché

He looked up and exhaled a puff of sht I told you to leave"

I walked forith a s at the corners of ht you wanted et out of the office so he could finish"

"You’re a pain in the ass, you know that?"

"So I’ve been told" I leaned on the desk next to hi and held it "Yes, and …" He blew the smoke at my face

"What?" I scrunched my nose up and waved away the say part," I said quickly Ewan cocked an eyebrow "Just he’s so, I don’t know, conservative"

Ewan crossed his arms and pinned me with a stare "I’m surprised, too"

"You are?"
